I didn't like most dieting apps because they either relied too much on fixed calorie targets (rather than flexing with actual activity), didn't help budget calorie intake throughou…

For AI, NVidia does have better tech, but on Linux at least the driver situation with AMD is infinitely better.

> If it followed the USPS model there would be a retention fee for the uploader and a transfer fee for the downloader, both based on size. The problem here is that we're already on…

OK, but we're very specifically discussing YouTube here, which as discussed, you don't have to pay for; but if you do, you don't see ads.

Most things are a sneeze compared to the budget of the federal government of the US, that doesn't mean that's a reasonable expectation for the US government (or any government) to …

There are no ads on Premium. Source: I have Premium and have adblock disabled on YouTube - no ads.

YT Premium revenue goes to the same creators you watch otherwise but they get compensated more for your views than they do for any other person's views. e.g. Linus Tech Tips posted…

You pay to make the content. You would have to "pay" to make the content no matter where you hosted it. You don't pay YouTube to host it. That's a silly argument. You seem to ignor…

There's a difference between letting an ad play and you simply ignoring it, and using technical means from preventing that ad playing at all. Principally - the latter actually affe…

> 21st century nation states can better solve video scale delivery without middle parasites like Google. If it's that easy, why has nobody done it? (Hint: governments don't want to…

Making any profit at all on a service that hosts and streams 4K video from everyone to everyone over the Internet while also compensating the creators of that video is no mean feat…

> If people don’t think there’s enough value in YT, then don’t pay and don’t use it. The most common throughline of all pro-piracy discourse is that there's a lot of people who fee…

You're trading your attention for entertainment you don't otherwise have to pay for.

People can and have.

They have somewhere near 10% share of the laptop market and the new Apple Silicon stuff absolutely cooks. For an afterthought, they're an exceptionally well-built and well-loved on…

> (In my experience as an app developer, getting any traction and/or money from your app can be much more difficult than actually building it.) This. The app I built has maybe 50 d…

> Nope. Not even that is 100% safe because you can be falsely convicted of a crime you never even committed. That's so exceptionally unlikely as to be something you can discount as…

I tried watching it again recently thinking "lol this movie ain't shit it's been five years this won't fuck me up". NOPE. Nightmares. Horrible film. Important film, but horrible.

They do that because shipping things that have (potentially) faulty lithium-ion batteries is generally frowned upon, so in lieu of returning them some (potentially explosive) e-was…

It's astonishing how few people actually seem to realise this.

I don’t, but it’s still unpleasant to see. Not everything has to be perfectly rational.

> It's funny being old because the thing that confuses me is why people have reactions to reactions, ex. people saying "based, why should they have to apologize anyway, it wasn't o…

Steve Jobs would have probably fired whoever suggested this ad, at best. He always saw the Mac as an enabler of and conduit for peoples' creativity, not a replacement for other for…
